It'd be nice to have all the casual fans know all the songs, but it's unreasonable to expect.

What is unfortunate?!
I thought my point was obvious. The conseqeucne of the 'casual' fanbase is that they will play the 'hits' that get the best reactions. I for one do not want to hear Bad Mx, Sleep when im dead, Bad name again, but the band know that these go down well for the casual fans out in the crowd who make up a large portion of the fanbase. Im sure Jon is sometimes sick to death of playing bad name etc but there would be people out there who would leave disappointed if it wasnt played.
Why is it unreasonable to expect bon jovi fans to actually be familiar with the band theyr going to see's work?
I *know* that if they started into dry county live this tour, there probaly would be very little reaction to the opening chords from the crowd apart from a few shouts from the diehards maybe. In the U.S, people would probably use it for a toliet break or go to the bar or to buy multiple burgers.
